Navjot Kaur Sidhu suspended from Congress after row over 'Rs 500 crore to become CM' remark
CHANDIGARH: After a backlash over her 'Rs 500 crore for chief minister's chair' remark, Congress leader Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu has been suspended from the primary membership of the party with immediate effect. Days after claiming that it costs Rs 500 crore to become Punjab Chief Minister and making utterances against her party colleagues, Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu was placed under suspension by Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring. Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu is hereby suspended from the primary membership of the party with immediate effect, read the order issued on Monday evening. Senior Congress leader and leader of opposition Partap Singh Bajwa said, It is the right decision at the right time, you cannot make such baseless allegations. Her intentions were not right for the party. Bajwa hinted that the BJP is the master of deceptive moves as she met the state governor Gulab Chand Kataria and then made the statement after coming out of Raj Bhawan. Responding to her remark, MP from Gurdaspur and former Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said that the party made Navjot Singh Sidhu a minister and also president of the Punjab unit of the Congress. I want to ask him how much money did he give and to whom for that? The status of party chief is higher that the Chief Minister. Leveling such allegations when you have served as party president is anti-party. The high command should take a note of it, he said, adding that Sidhu has not been active for four years but has now started leveling allegations as assembly polls are scheduled for 2027. Twist given to straight comment, says Navjot Kaur Sidhu after controversy over her 'Rs 500 crore' remark Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who is also the state Congress president, also slammed her comments, saying, Let her be admitted to a hospital, some good mental hospital. After her statement, the BJP and AAP claimed that she had exposed the ugly truth of how the grand old party functions, and the money bag politics it indulges in. Following the backlash, Navjot Kaur had claimed that her comments had been twisted. I am shocked to see the twist given to a straight comment saying that our Congress party has never demanded anything from us. On being asked about Navjot becoming a CM face from any other party, I stated that we have no money to offer for a CM post, Kaur said in a post on X on Sunday evening. Former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu had triggered a row on Saturday by implying that only someone who gives a suitcase of Rs 500 crore can become the CM. She also said her husband will return to active politics if the Congress declares him as the party's chief ministerial face in Punjab. Navjot Sidhu will return to active politics if he is declared as Congress's CM face in Punjab polls, says his wife

Dr G Parameshwara: Those who support narcotics are not human
BENGALURU: Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara on Sunday condemned individuals who promote or support narcotics, stating that they destroy peoples lives, future and health. Those who promote or support narcotics are not human beings, he said. Emphasising the governments stance against drug abuse, he reaffirmed Karnatakas commitment to becoming a drug-free state. He was speaking at a vintage car rally organised to support the states war against drug abuse and peddling at Vidhana Soudha. The Bengaluru City Police organised the event in collaboration with the Federation of Historic Vehicles of India (FHVI) and Paul John Resorts and Hotels. Hundreds of vintage cars and two-wheelers participated in the rally, which started from Vidhana Soudha and culminated on Mysuru Road. Awareness programmes were also conducted at MG Road Metro Station and other locations. Before flagging off the rally, Parameshwara said the governments announcement of making Karnataka drug-free cannot be achieved overnight. We have launched a war against drugs. Since last year, drugs worth more than Rs 300 crore have been seized. Thousands of people have been arrested. Unfortunately, even students who come from abroad for education are getting involved in such crimes, he said. He further said that drug peddlers have become so inhuman that they are visiting schools and distributing narcotics disguised as chocolates. Initially, they are providing free samples to the kids. He added that the Bengaluru City Police are intensifying enforcement measures.
DCM seeks report on Bengalurus air quality
BENGALURU: Congress MLC Dinesh Gooligowda has warned that the Bengalurus air quality is deteriorating rapidly and that if measures are not taken, the city will become another New Delhi. In a letter addressed to Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar dated December 6, he urged that steps be taken to curb air pollution. Acting immediately on Gooligowdas letter, the DCM directed the chief secretary to set up an expert committee to submit a report on air pollution. In his letter, Gooligowda, who is also vice-chairman of Karnataka State Guarantee Schemes Implementation Authority, said, There are 1.2 crore vehicles in Bengaluru for a population of 1.47 crore, with almost every citizen owning a vehicle as a result of which pollution is increasing. Stating that on average 2,563 new vehicles are getting registered daily in the city, Gooligowda said experts have predicted that in the next 5-10 years, Bengalurus Air Quality Index (AQI), which is in the moderate range of 50-70, would jump to the severe range. He demanded that a high-level technical committee be set up, comprising environmental scientists, mobility experts, public health experts, subject experts, along with officials from the pollution board and the state transport department. The committee must decide the pollution trajectory of Bengaluru for the next decade and recommend immediate and long-term measures to curb pollution. They have to develop a comprehensive clean-air action plan for Bengaluru, the MLC stated.
